Product Description

Potent, cell permeable and specific inhibitor of protein arginine N-methyltransferases (PRMTs) (IC50=8.8µM for human PRMT1 and 3.0µM for yeast Hmt1p). Does not compete for the AdoMet (S-adenosyl-L-methionine; SAM) binding site. Exhibits only minimal effects on lysine N-methyltransferases. Suppresses the transcriptional coactivator activity of PRMT1 and PRMT4. Inhibitor of HIV-1 RT polymerase (IC50=5.0µM).
